Course Description
Wildlife Ecology, Conservation, and Management introduces advanced students to the ways in which human society influences the distribution and abundance of animals and communities viewed as ecologically, economically or intrinsically valuable and presents the analytical and technical tools available to wildlife professionals whose purpose is to understand population dynamics and manipulate the human-wildlife interface towards specific goals. The course is centered primarily on vertebrate (fish, birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians) populations but also considers community and ecosystem perspectives. Students will explore sociopolitical perspectives, biological and ecological concepts, and mathematical underpinnings to population regulation and human-wildlife interactions.
